When does pre season training commence?

WESTERN BULLDOGS​

Return dates

First to four-year players – November 21

Others – December 5

Who is fit?

The 2020 No. 1 draft pick Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is putting in the work and is looking in serious shape after he began to demonstrate his talent this year. Bailey Smith is also maintaining his ultra-fitness in the off-season.

Who is starting on time?

The Bulldogs finished the season without any long-term injury concerns, so most of the playing list should be fit and healthy when training officially begins.

Who was in for surgery?

Marras looking noticeably fitter in a pics I’ve seen this off-season, kids going to explode on field soon. I think people underrate how good he’ll be.

I love Naughty I think he’s genuinely in the top handful of forwards in the comp already at 22. But Marras different, hes a goal kicker - he’s one of the few, if not the only, current young forwards in the comp who I reckon has 70+ goal
season potential

It’s bodes extremely well that he was awarded the coaches aware too. He had a very difficult first year but took strides last season. He’s clearly doing a power of the work behind the scenes that hasn’t necessarily shown on the field yet.

The reality was that he was always going to be a bit of a project until his strength and endurance could catch up to AFL standard.
 
Seen a few picture Marras uploaded to instagram. Definitely putting in the work. With a bit of good luck hopefully it translates on field with some good performances.
